• Create cloud architectures across multiple platforms, cloud solutions, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud solutions.
• Identify technologies, tools, and platform solutions across multiple functional areas (public/private clouds, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).
• Evaluate and recommend platforms, container orchestration capabilities, DevOps services, and autonomous capabilities.
• Familiar with the latest trends in cloud computing and emerging technologies, including security and regulatory compliance.
• Evaluate all architecture gaps and omissions, recommend ad hoc processes, incorporate recommended capabilities, adopt test automation technologies, and recommend new approaches to address related issues.
• Partner with and collaborate with engineering and solution architecture teams to integrate IT and platform-related security and compliance requirements into enterprise platforms to protect business objectives.
• Provide developmental recommendations to resolve complex issues.
• Create robust platforms and build integrations that extend into cloud-based infrastructures, including continuous integration, decommissioning, security standards, and software security standards (ISO, PCT, NIST).
• In-depth technical knowledge and expertise in TOGAF and/or Zachman, with the ability to apply these frameworks appropriately across business, applications, data, technology, security, cloud, and enterprise security.
• Experience with RPA, low-code platforms, customer data, quality, digital products, and business processes.
